The Main Attraction

Quite an unusual album from Grant Green, a record that's quite different than his earlier records for Blue Note, but still pretty darn great overall! Grant's working here in a large group (Kudu style) with arrangements by David Matthews, but a sound that's still pretty lean overall! There's a fair bit of great players in the lineup, including Jon Faddis on trumpet, Hubert Laws on flute, and Joe Farrell on tenor (and the horns soar out nicely to set the scene over some tightly stepping backings) all served up with plenty of room for Grant to solo spaciously on guitar! The title trackn "The Main Attraction"n is nearly 20 minutes long, and the other two tracks, "Creature" and "Future Feature", both approach the 10 minute mark themselves!
